    Almost done driving up and down 41 in Wisconsin for the day, getting loaded in lomira now then get to turn east and head to MI.

    Last week yelled at dispatch that it's too hot in the south, haven't dropped south of 80 yet this week.

    Driver didn't make it. He was driving a dump truck. Reports say tractor trailer came into his lane to move over for a pulled over vehicle and driver swerved and hit the centerpass abutment.

    They just said he didn't make it after not knowing all day.

    ######## decided to relay my ms load. So I get to do all the hard part. Get into jersey city. Get loaded. Get out of jersey city. Then drop in it Leesport so somebody else can run on to ms with it.

    At the drop in holland. Think I'm gonna make s run for a secret spot close to new haven.

    Was gonna roll early in the morning but since I got screwed on it think I'll sleep in and wait out the traffic. No need in dealing with it since I'm gonna get #### out of 800 miles on it

    Given the way those local drivers drive, that dump truck was probably rolling at a good clip right up on the tractor trailer and did that last minute lane change just as the tractor trailer moved over.

    Sitting up top of Monteagle at the Wilco Hess exit 135 on 24 in Tennessee ... Got unloaded in Macon GA this morning and reloaded in Newnan GA.... Make it out of Atlanta before rush hour. Figured I'd stop short of Nashville and roll down this hill and through Music City before AM rush hr... That should also get me to Chicago before the afternoon rush...
    Don't know how long that freon had been leaking out of my APU... But now that it's fixed its blowing artic air outta there... Love it!!

    They either do 85 or 50. It's quite maddening driving that stretch.

    I also always found it strange that when it splits to the part where trucks have to stay right they only give you 2 lanes to use....meaning out of 6 lanes on the turnpike we can only be in the right 2. That's almost as idiotic as California.
